A U.S. release date has been announced for Mamoru Hosoda's Belle - January 14, 2022 along with a teaser trailer.

I'm really looking forward to this, I love Summer Wars and Kaho Nakamura has been on my playlists since her Ainou album. Glad it's not too far away!

Any other Lupin the 3rd fan? Part 6 has started airing and I'm excited for it. It looks really good from the trailers. I'm waiting on the dub personally before diving in.

I’ll probably wait for the dub as well. Just finished part V, it was a blast(so was 4)

"I should rewatch Gokaiger", he thinks after binging Gokaiger clips on YouTube for the last 2 hours and knowing full well he has a crapton on Toku on his backlog

Don't watch a lot of anime, more of a manga maniac, but pretty excited for Chainsaw Man and Stone Ocean.
Also, I've watched a good percentage of existing tokusatsu films, but not only a bit of TV toku action. Love Ultraman, Ultraseven, Liveman (my fave), Jetman, og Kamen Rider, and KR Fourze.
I finished Jetman about a month ago, top shelf toku. Shout out to Grey, the smoking, drinking robot before Bender existed:

Yes, Love Lupin the 3rd

But I prefer it subbed. Something about Sonny Strait as Lupin just doesnt sit with me

Can't look at that guy at anything other than Krillin/Usopp

Sonny Straight only voiced Lupin in the older specials/movies. All the recent stuff has had Tony Oliver as Lupin.

Hoo boy, glad to see this thread here. I’ve never participated in one but I watch a lot of anime and (some) Toku.

I recently finished Demon Slayer first season and Mugen Train. I enjoyed it a lot! I started watching it because I wanted to get the game which was sadly…A rough $60 lost. The anime and movie though were top shelf and the ending to Mugen Train made me tear up quite a bit for a character that hasn’t made much appearance before that. I watched it dubbed so I guess I’ll be waiting longer for season two as I’ll wait for the dub there.

I’ve started watching Gamers! with my girlfriend after we just finished up One Week Friends and it’s such a fun show. We’re finishing up The Disastrous Life of Saiki K as well and I’ll be forever sad how that series dub was one of the best until the second season.

By myself I’m watching Big Windup, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and Gintama.

Looking forward to giving Chainsaw Man and Stone Ocean a watch whenever they come out.
 
This week's Zenkaiger was fun!

I liked the transformations after the switches :v
And there was this shot wih Battle Japan and Stacaesar that I guess was to really drive home the point of the inspiration for the design of the latter.

Love Live Super Star Season 1 finished today with episode 12. This was probably my favorite first season for a Love Live yet and easily the best Love Live has ever looked. The five members of Liella are a great group with no weak links! Kanon, the leader is definitely my favorite. I think her main struggle of stage fright and lack of confidence is relatable, and seeing her grow to become an actual determined leader is definitely the highlight of season 1. Similarly, I actually enjoyed every song this season! Usually there are one or two that are just fine and don’t click with me. The OP Start!! True Dreams is my clear favorite, and I also really dug Mirai Wa Kaze No You Ni (the ending song), Mirai Yoho Halleujah (from episode 1), Tiny Stars (episode 3), and Dreaming Energy (which I already liked walking in after seeing their Anime Expo Lite concert). Very excited for the last few songs (especially episode 12’s song!) to hit iTunes. One last thing, I loved the owl and especially the dog in Super Star and I hope we see more of them. It’s too early to say how Super Star ranks against the original and Sunshine, but yeah I really loved season 1.

I was also very happy today I finally got the third Hajime No Ippo collection in the mail and the first Girls Und Panzer Das Finale film. I haven’t seen the latter yet, but I did dive into the Ippo set and really enjoyed episode 76 and especially enjoyed the Kimura Vs Mashiba OVA. The latter had everything I love about the series with an exciting build up to the boxing title fight with cool training sessions and just enough scenes to know and care about the stakes for both characters. The actual fight was super intense and awesome as it was mostly a beatdown until things started to shift. I had accidentally read about the outcome prior, but it didn’t make it any less exciting as the fight dragged on and the final blows were landed. Seriously forgot about it in the heat of the moment (when Inner Light played even as just an instrumental it was still pure hype). Man I really hope Discotek licenses the second and third seasons, I really want to see all of the Ippo anime out there! Incidentally, I can’t recommend Hajime No Ippo enough to all anime fans if you haven’t seen it. The first and third seasons are on Crunchyroll.
